OVERPRICED for a temple premises – but quality saved it!
We recently visited Govinda’s Restaurant inside the ISKCON temple premises in Vrindavan, and honestly had mixed feelings about the experience.

The total bill came to ₹1690, which felt excessively steep, especially for a restaurant located within a spiritual temple campus that attracts pilgrims and families from all walks of life.
➡️ Portion sizes were underwhelming – the dosas and uttapam felt small, and drinks were served in rather modest quantities. For this price, you’d expect either a generous portion or a fine-dining experience, but sadly, neither matched.

Read moreGovinda's Restaurant Govinda is one of the prominent names of Sri Krishna which means “he who gives pleasure to the senses”, and although the devotees are always eager to give pleasure to the Lord, the Lord also reciprocated by giving pleasure to his devotees. Therefore, he blesses the devotees with the delicious remnants of the foodstuffs offered to him, which is known as Prasad, and all the devotees relish these foodstuffs to their full satisfaction.
The Govinda’s Restaurant offers this delicious Krishna prasad for all the visiting devotees and pilgrims and is one of more than 150 ISKCON Restaurants around the world which promote pure vegetarianism by serving delicious PRASADAM.

Read moreI had been to this restaurant as I stayed in their guest house and the restaurant was easily accessible to me so I used to visit there for my Breakfast lunch dinner everyday but the level of customer service provided by the restaurant staff was way below compared to the customer service tha you get a local eatery .The staff was so rude and ill mannered that whenever we used to ask for some extra plate or extra glass or have our leftover food packed they used to stare at us as we have asked them for their kidney and they used to rudefully deny the things ask of them and the rates are so high the restaurant is out of reach for common folks and I feel that this restaurant is only for the people who are well to do .What I feel is the restaurant staff need to be sent for a specialized training in customer service so that the people who go there in future don't have to face the same situation that I had to face. As per me the rating they deserve is -100 if the...
